I couldn’t figure how to get into the Neo Geo core’s pad test but I did the same test with the SNES core and the SNES burn-in test ROM and I couldn’t reproduce it with a DS4.

Do you have an OTG cable that you could use to plug the DualShock4 directly to the OTG port? The idea is to rule out the USB hub as the potential culprit.

I will try to reproduce your steps and report here.

Edit: I’ve just read your post about the hub.

Great post! And I definitely second that!

Are you using a powered USB hub?

It looks like this game has issues even on real hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gWaFwSZ08Q
(there's a comment in there)

You should probably need to set forced_scandoubler or vga_scaler as 1 inside MiSTer.ini file

Maybe SNES core needs to check the ROM type information in the header and disable SRAM writes if the game doesn’t have it?

Mister has some errors about registers and then hangs on cdc init. Who knows if sorge is aware of this and if can help the work of the core's developers

I actually think you should open an issue on github for this!

Given how GBA core replicates the horrid sound of world 7 map in Super Mario Advance 4, I would say it's 100% accurate!

Grabulosaure is also the creator of the HDMI scaler that powers MiSTer's HDMI output: ASCAL.

Thanks, Lancelot!

Yes, there's no way out of it. We'll need at least horizontal interpolation.

My only hope now for Pixel Perfect without interpolation is getting horizontal integer scaling + vertical cropping added to the scaler.

It's great to see you back, brNX!!

I've went ahead and posted the issue on Github

Workaround: Set up your mister.ini file to match whatever display you use most of the time. Then copy it as mister_alt_1.ini and change the settings to match your second display. MiSTer will now always boot in the mode specified by mister.ini, and you can press Back+Left in the menu to toggle to the other ini. Yeah, this was what I've ended up doi...

Is that possible to make the forced_scandoubler=1 setting to affect only the VGA output (I'm using the IO board)? If I turn this on, which is necessary when I connect my MiSTer to my VGA monitor, this seems to affect the scaling of the HDMI output when I'm using it on the HDMI TV. This can be verified by turning the scanlines on (in the scaler filt...

(and from sides, but it's likely far less useful.)

Looking forward to this feature, as I believe this will solve lots of scaling issues on some TVs.

I've just got a brand new 17" CRT monitor. I'm using scaler only for HDMI and it's set for 1080p, so I'm using forced_scandoubler=1 for the VGA output. Everything looks awesome on NES, Genesis and TG16 cores, but I get a shaking image (top part only, the bottom looks great) in the SNES core. SNES core looks great on 480p on this monitor if I e...

Tested no-intro and some other roms with latest Genesis core and first boss (level 10) graphics are corrupted, anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Did you update Main? Also, are you using a SDRAM module? If that's the case, does it pass memtest?

Hi there!

Is there a way to get full screen 720p HDMI no-shimmering pixel perfect output on MiSTer, on the NES core for example, without having to use interpolation at all? In case that's possible, what settings should I look into?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers.

For multi-games, that makes all sense to me. I would keep loading single games from same directory capability though, if possible.

Thanks for making MegaCD core even better, Sorg.

You could write a little "daemon" on MiSTer side that checks for changes inside /tmp/CORENAME (this file holds the name of the current loaded core).

Yes I can set up the original 8 gig card and use it for a while. I haven't had a repeat for a day or so since I started cold booting out of gaming sessions. Should I keep up the cold boot procedure or.go back to just turning it off to see if the issue pops back up? So cold booting is always a success in your tests? Yeah, I would suggest the origin...

Are you able to test the same procedure you've described with another SD card?

You just have to make sure your bios is renamed to boot.rom and it's inside the /media/fat/games/MegaCD directory. It sould work.

You're probably powering off before HPS Linux had a chance to flush save file buffer to disk/SD.

As a general rule, and this is what I always do aside of setting autosave on, is performing a cold reboot from core's menu. This ensures buffers are flushed before you turn your MiSTer off.

Currently supernt + sd2snes cart leads In SNES perfection however that combo is like $1000 when you add everything up (Australia dollerydoos). You also just get a SNES, MiSTer exceeds In excellence across many systems. I’m probably going to eBay my supernt combo due to MiSTer. Might get a second MiSTer to put in a candy cab but that’s a project. D...

Well, it's pretty much perfect for me at the current state.

It might not be for more purists though (maybe because of two shogi games not supported)?

Long live MiSTer!

Either RAM or cartridge access or both. Well, maybe this fix might give kevtris some insights so Analogue users might be getting a fix soon

Maybe you should consider becoming a Patreon?

Patreon notifications work great!

Maybe the core should disable the arcade card feature when using card based (non-CD) games?
